88. What dimensions is he missing, for God's sakes?

Nothing that Chomsky has ever criticized in U.S. foreign policy was ever actually justified, and nothing he ever attacked ever had positive results for anyone but the bazillionaires.

All Chomsky is guilty of is refusing to say that U.S. brutality was justified at times by the Cold War. That's the only thing he's really "guilty" of.

He agreed that massive casualties occurred in Cambodia...it doesn't make any difference what the size of the figure he agreed to was...it was equally wrong either way.

And Chomsky was never an apologist for the USSR(he's an libertarian socialist, and as such automatically anti-Stalinist), so what else can you really bust him on?

The fact is, U.S. foreign policy, with the sole exception of the European theatre of World War II, has always been reactionary and imperialist. It had no progressive or humane components whatsoever. We need to just admit that and work to repudiate the whole ugly status quo on that.
